Sorry about my ignorance here, but what does EMR really mean for the MT?

Even if the system goes electronic, won't MTs still be needed?  Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question!

IGNORANCE
You should really keep your mouth shut about the situation here in Florida and elsewhere. These folks have been devastated, homes gone, jobs gone, these are everyday people and NOT WELFARE LINE recipients. Wake up and stop being so self-centered. When one day you slip into a bad situation you will be asking for help too. I all most fell off my chair when I read your ignorant, uninformed post. You should be ashamed and ask forgiveness and apologize to this board for y our inhuman and slanderous insinuations.
MT in Florida ..
Sorry for the ignorance sm
I was using "anon" but not anymore since someone else has posted a nasty remark here. Why the nasty replies on here? I agree, this is supposed to be the helping profession. I think Cobra is only a bridge between jobs to help you with bennies but is only temporary, not sure of time, but this is the law and cannot be changed. I had to have private insurance just for myself as husband had his own on retirement but I was too young. I had to buy from a private Blue Cross through a group plan through the Chamber of Commerce in my area and so expensive. Big $$$ and no other way. I wish you the best, there is no real solution except to get into a job that offers bennies but sometimes you make more on your own and buying your own ins. Again, sorry some others are so mean, there are a few on here, unfortunately, that's why I chose to be "anon" before but never again! I am not  associated with that poster.
you are showing your IGNORANCE
Apparently that is all you have gained from 'getting out, living and learning'.

Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.

I hope you truly 'get smart' by the time you have to give an account for all you have done and not done to the One that made you.
scuse my ignorance,
but what's an SE?  Thanks
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss....sm
If I had known EVERYTHING about starting a business and listened to all the naysayers, I never would have done it.  Bought a computer, printer, fax, and dictaphone(no on line work then), and sent out letters, flyers, had cards printed, and knocked on dr. office doors to get my own work.  I pretty much knew nothing except how to transcribe and was very good at it, I thought!  Soon learned I was very good at what I knew but just as green as a newbie with new fields.  Ended up with a very successful service and 10-12 employees.  Supported my family and still do.  Big difference in being prepared now is having the capability to do voice files.  Eventually, you need a phone so your name is listed in the phone book and an accountant to do the financial stuff.  You just have to have the basic knowledge that you probably already have, and learn as you go. 
Sorry, then, was showing my ignorance! :) nm

showing my ignorance
I did not know there were services like that, how do you contact them, what are they called?
Pardon my ignorance but sm
When did they start using flash drives and how? Most of mine don't know how to use the computer! Please share. Sorry for your problem, sounds like the office manager is gloating over this - it's their problem, not yours. Charge them for the lines find out how computer literate the staff is. They usually pay peanuts and get monkeys!
They say ignorance is bliss. You must be a very ingnorantly

Hate to show my ignorance ... what is ME? nm

scuz my ignorance, whats this about?

Their ignorance doesn't hurt me

as much as the ignorance of people who should know better - like our "supervisors" etc.  The only answer to nurses or anybody else who thinks like them is to give them a test tape and let them "have at it".  That's usually a good eye opener, or mind opener.


 


Okay, I am going to show my ignorance, but don't you still have to have a foot pedal and...sm
so have to be connected to an outlet? I know you can have that on your porch/deck, etc. but that does limit the mobility aspect doesn't it or can it be done without a foot pedal? I don't mean to sound stupid, but this is all new to me.
Ignore them - pure ignorance on the subject

Your obvious ignorance is not worth responding to, NM

Guess I have to show my ignorance -- what is myspace? TIA nm

I hate to show my incredible ignorance, but how do I sm

find out what type of processor my computer has?  I know it is a Pentium, but I cannot remember if it is a 3 or a 4.  I tried System Tools, but that was of no help at all.  :(


 


Thanks for your help.


Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
Oh bosh.  I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist.  I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about.  Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests.  High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive.  I have two other comments:  Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it.   It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now.   Contact American Mensa and find out.  They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond.... 
Should I chalk your post up to just plain old ignorance, the fact that you can't read or SM
are you just plain stupid!
Pardon me, but your ignorance and obvious lack of class are showing.

get a life, this is extensively documented. Pick up a book some time, ignorance
